Students of the Faculty of Engineering and Renewable Energy at the British University in Egypt Visited  Zafarana Wind and Solar Energy Site – New & Renewable Energy Authority (NREA)

The New and Renewable Energy Authority (NREA) welcomed a delegation of 52 students from the Faculty of Engineering and Renewable Energy at the British University in Egypt (BUE) on an educational field visit to the Zafarana site, which hosts both wind and solar energy projects.

During the visit, NREA engineers delivered a detailed presentation on the operation of wind and solar power plants, NREA’s role in supporting clean energy projects, and the latest technologies used in the operation and maintenance of renewable energy systems.

The visit also included a field tour inside the site, where students explored wind turbine components, operation and control methods, in addition to visiting the solar panel area. This provided students with valuable hands-on exposure to the technical and operational aspects of renewable energy projects.

This visit comes as part of NREA’s commitment to support educational programs, offering practical training opportunities for university students, and enhancing awareness of the important role of renewable energy in achieving sustainable development.
